It can't be delayed any longer. If Dulu Luo Tian continues like this, he might escape. And then the Immortal Emperor will blame me," Mo Yu said anxiously and with a fierce look on his face.
"Kill him, quickly kill him!" Mo Yu roared, his heart pounding. Why did he feel an unsettling feeling creeping up on him? This was not too good.
Swish!
Just as Mo Yu's heart was racing, his pupils constricted as a sharp long sword swiftly passed by his side.
Plop!
The archer froze at the moment when he drew his bowstring, as his chest was already pierced by a sword, blood gushing out!
The blue arrows and longbow scattered on the ground. He tried to stop the flowing blood from his chest in vain.
The archer, even at the moment of death, couldn't believe he would be killed by a sword piercing through his body from a hundred meters away.
"Who else?!" Wu Luo Tian thundered, throwing a sword just in time to kill the archer when his attention was focused on aiming at Wu Luo Tian's weak point.
However, he also paid the price, as a one-foot-long wound was slashed across his abdomen.
With a whoosh, the sword on his back shot out, and Wu Luo Tian wielded the sword with both hands to defend himself again.
"Nephew... I... Kill him for me, kill him! I want to tear him into pieces!" Mo Yu urged almost hysterically.
The archer by his side was his nephew, who thought that attacking Wu Luo Tian with a bow and arrow from such a distance would be very safe and easy to succeed. But his nephew was killed instantly by Wu Luo Tian before he could even achieve anything!
Feelings of resentment and grief surged from the bottom of Mo Yu's heart as he tremblingly carried his nephew's body, closing his eyes that would never close, and growled softly.
"Wu Luo Tian, I want you dead!"
As he was about to rush madly towards Wu Luo Tian to engage in a life and death battle, a fair hand lightly held his shoulder, preventing him from moving forward.
Mo Yu's eyes were filled with tears, then he lost his voice in sorrow.
"Sir!"
"Let me handle this."
The newcomer was the Immortal Emperor who had just arrived, also the representative of the Four Pavilions! He was dressed in a purple robe, with a white fox wrapped around his arm, and his white hair fluttered in the snow, his expression cold.
Meanwhile, Wu Luo Tian was fully focused on dealing with the four assassins and did not notice the arrival of the Immortal Emperor.
"This kid can resist four opponents of equal strength for so long. It seems that the Wu family has indeed underestimated him. Lord Lie was right, the members of the Wu family are all brave and good at fighting… This kid must be eliminated!" Wu Luo Tian's eyes flashed with killing intent. He then moved swiftly and mysteriously into the surrounding woods, moving lightly as if he were gliding on water. It was a rare footwork, a superior technique that relied on Chi to perform.
At the moment, Wu Luo Tian had not yet discovered the presence of the Immortal Emperor, as all his focus was on fending off the attackers. However, he had already noticed that the group surrounding him seemed to consist of only these few people and he must unleash his ultimate move now!
"Sword of the Spirit!"
Suddenly, a powerful sword qi burst out as the sharp edge of the heavy sword in his body erupted, sweeping in all directions!
Crack!
"What's going on?!"
The two black assassins who were the first to be attacked by Wu Luo Tian were instantly shocked. The Wu Luo Tian, who had been suppressed by all four of them just a moment ago, suddenly erupted with such force that he shattered their weapons in a single sword strike!
"What strange power is this! No, wait, there is sword qi on his weapon!"
One of the black assassins was stunned as he saw the Spirit Sword in Wu Luo Tian's hand. Although a single sword could not be a threat, the fact that the weapon…
Although the Nine Realms could release internal energy and transform it into sword qi, Wu Luo Tian could actually infuse Chi into another seventeen swords simultaneously.
"Run!"
Just as one of the two brothers shouted, a sword light brushed past his neck, blood splattering, and his head flew off!
"Ah~!"
The other assassin roared in anger, but felt his weapon hand immobilized, and his body tilted forward uncontrollably, falling to the ground.
Thunk! Both assassins were already on the ground, both arms severed by sharp sword qi. Although they didn't die, they had lost their mobility and could only watch helplessly as blood gushed from their arm wounds, their consciousness fading away.
"I refuse to accept this, I refuse!"
Though there was unwillingness, it was already too late to change the outcome!
After swiftly dealing with these two, Wu Luo Tian felt a bit drained as his spiritual core also shrank slightly, and his body also felt a sense of weakness.
Although the boundless spiritual core was infinitely powerful, Wu Luo Tian had only recently stepped into the realm of boundlessness, making it somewhat difficult to utilize the spiritual core.
"There are three more."
Wu Luo Tian's eyes lit up. Including Mo Yu, there were still three more opponents, and he had no problem dealing with them. Gasping for breath heavily, he forced the other two assassins to keep their distance using his recent display of power, trying to regain some strength in a short time, and resolve these three opponents quickly to avoid any unexpected changes.
Suddenly, Wu Luo Tian felt a chill on his back, a sense of crisis rising. In a split second, he tilted his body to the right, a wave of palm wind brushing past him, while the owner of that fair hand was surprised.
"Not bad, quite interesting."
"Who dared to ambush me?"
In the next moment, the palm struck diagonally, swoosh!
Wu Luo Tian's left arm was deeply cut by the Immortal Emperor's hand, leaving a deep wound.
Wu Luo Tian's pupils shrank; the hand strike was unexpectedly strong.
"Soul Swallowing Palm!"
The fair hand emitted a radiant light, as clear as crystal.
Unable to hold the long sword in his injured hand any longer, it clattered to the ground.
Enduring the intense pain, Wu Luo Tian stared at the Immortal Emperor like a starving wolf on the brink of life and death, his heart filled with shock. The opponent's strength was definitely at a higher level than the advanced level of boundlessness or even higher!
Even if it was Wu Yanze, he would not be able to handle the situation with such ease.
"Why, aren't you powerful? Come and try me." The Immortal Emperor said indifferently.
"I knew... Immortal Emperor, you're just a eunuch under Wu Yanze!" shouted Dugu Aotian coldly.
"Eunuch? Hehe, no need to be so respectful, just call me Immortal Emperor. Being called a eunuch is too polite," the fake smile of the Immortal Emperor made Wu Luo Tian feel a chill.
Knowing the true nature of a person is always harder than it seems! He never imagined that under Wu Yanze's management efforts, such a beast would emerge! He had wholeheartedly managed the original branch of the Wu family, but now he was working for a heartless and cunning person!
"Don't ask why I treat you like this. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being a descendant of the Wu family. I hope you will be reborn into a good family." By this time, the Immortal Emperor had already handed down the death sentence to Wu Luo Tian.
"Hahaha!!!" Wu Luo Tian laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth, like a carefree and reckless young man, worry-free. Yet in the next moment, an explosive force shot out of him.
"Mon**r, I will not die here!"
Boom! Wu Luo Tian had accumulated enough energy to use the Spirit Sword, and a sword strike unleashed black flames from the sky!
"Indeed, have you already advanced to boundlessness?" The Immortal Emperor had no chance to evade and directly faced the sword strike.
As the sword energy dissipated without the expected killing blow, it merely left a few scars on his palm, hardly affecting him.
"How is that possible? What kind of strength do you possess?"
Under Wu Luo Tian's confident attack, the Immortal Emperor, who could withstand injuries that could heavily damage an ordinary person, only ended up with some superficial scratches on his palm.
But what surprised the Immortal Emperor more was that after years of cultivation, he was already as precious as a treasure. At least within the realm of boundlessness, no one could harm him.
Calmness settled in the Immortal Emperor's heart as he revealed a fierce smile and whispered in a voice only heard by him and Wu Luo Tian.
"I have to admit, you do have some skills. To be able to inflict harm on me, as a reward, I'll tell you that I broke through to the Immortal realm half a year ago."
With these words, a huge wave surged in Wu Luo Tian's heart. The fact that the Immortal Emperor had reached the Immortal realm half a year ago!
The Immortal Emperor had already exceeded the strength of Wu Yanze, and now with the Immortal realm under his belt, what was he planning?
Of course, these were not things Wu Luo Tian needed to dwell on at that moment. Upon hearing what the Immortal Emperor said, he immediately realized the gap between them was too vast to overcome!
"Do you want to run now? It's too late!"
With a palm strike, Wu Luo Tian's chest caved in, and he was sent flying a hundred meters away!
Splut!
Wu Luo Tian kept spitting out blood, spraying a column of blood into the air before falling into the snow.
Screech! Just as the Immortal Emperor was about to chase Wu Luo Tian, he heard the cry of a falcon from the sky.
With his arm raised towards the sky, a grey shadow descended and the messenger falcon landed on his arm. As he untied the note attached to the falcon's leg, he immediately read its contents: Capital is in urgent need, return quickly!
The Immortal Emperor's face changed, then he pointed to the two assassins standing beside him who were already dumbfounded.
"Wu Luo Tian is severely injured, go finish him off."
"Yes, sir!"
The two bowed their heads in respect and rushed off towards the direction where Wu Luo Tian had been sent flying.
"Immortal Emperor!" Mo Yu approached the bewildered Immortal Emperor.
"Mo Yu, there's an emergency at Capital. Hurry back with me to mobilize reinforcements!" The Immortal Emperor said sternly.
"But…"
"No buts, I will avenge your nephew."
Sighing, Mo Yu felt a sense of bitterness but still followed the order.
The two assassins arrived at the spot where Wu Luo Tian fell to find that he had already fled, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Looking at each other, they both said in unison.
"Chase!"
Although they were amazed by Wu Luo Tian's incredible skills, they were equally afraid of his boundless level of power. However, now that he was heavily injured by the Immortal Emperor and on the verge of danger, if they couldn't kill him now, they might as well commit suicide.
Despite the messy footprints and traces on the ground, they were unfazed and quickly followed. In less than the time it took to finish a cup of tea, they stopped at a large tree.
